Semua Bab Falling For My Secret Billionaire : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Leo’s POVI just didn’t know where I would find Bella. She left no trace for me to follow. Her number hadn’t been going through, and it was hard to believe that she probably didn’t want me anymore. As I sat on the couch in my office, I was thinking about what to do to win Bella back, but there was nothing I could do. I had tried everything I knew, yet winning her back felt like searching through the ocean. I no longer had a personal assistant, and I had no plans of getting one. As I dove deeper into my thoughts about how much I wanted to be in the picture with the woman I loved—who didn’t want me back simply because of something I didn’t do, something she thought I did—the door slammed open. It was my mom. I sighed heavily at the sight of her. I didn’t want to see her. What was she doing here? She probably showed up just to get me to go on that date with Nova, which I didn’t want. Ever since I took over Novacrest, I had declined all my mother’s requests to date Nova and to come over f

Bella’s POVSitting in this restaurant with Alex reminds me so much of Leo—when he took me to a fancy restaurant to propose to me. I was shocked at how he got so much money for us to be there and for all the money he spent on what he got us. But when I asked him about it, he lied to me. He said it was his friend who owned the restaurant and had told him to order anything he wanted since he wanted to propose to his woman. I can’t believe he’d see me as a gold digger. That’s why he never told me the truth.Tears circled my eyes as I thought about it. I held them back from dropping—not in front of Alex. The truth is that I really miss him. But Alex’s eyes were fixed on me, as if he could see right through me. Concern was etched on his face. He held my hand, and I felt the touch of Leo. I think I’m going crazy because of Leo.“Are you okay, Pearl?” he asked.That name—it had been so long since he’d ever called me that. When he started calling me Pearl, I thought he had feelings for me, ju

Leo’s POVI sat in the restaurant at a concealed corner table, waiting for Nova to arrive. Thoughts raced through my mind as I rubbed my hand over my head.“Does this mean I’m going to forget all about Bella? I shouldn’t do this to her. What if she finds me here? What will I tell her?”I shrugged my shoulders as that thought kept running through my mind. I just didn’t want to hurt Bella — not now, when she already doubted me.“Come on, it’s just a date. There’s nothing attached to it,” I tried convincing myself. I didn’t know why it was taking Nova so long to get here. This date was just going to be a quick one. I wasn’t going to waste more time with her. The mere sight of her pissed me off.I drifted my eyes to the window, staring at the sky. It looked beautiful. It reminded me so much of the moment Bella and I promised each other never to leave one another, no matter what happened. Let the sky bear us witness. I sighed heavily. That promise didn’t stand anymore. Bella didn’t want to

Leo’s POVI came back home with so much anger welling inside me. I regretted ever going on that date with Nova. The thought of having a contract marriage with her made my stomach twist. How could my mother want me to have a contract marriage with Nova? I knew perfectly well that she was joking—or at least, I hoped she was. As I was absorbed in my thoughts, the door to my room opened. It was Nova. She was looking sexy, like she wanted to seduce me or something. But why was she here, and how did the guards allow her in without informing me?“What are you doing here? I hope you know it’s prohibited to barge into someone’s room like you own the whole place,” I asked her. She approached closer to me. I could feel her breath brushing against my face. I adjusted, moving away from being so close to her.“I came to see my husband-to-be. Is it also prohibited to be here?” she asked, brushing her finger across my face. She bit her lips seductively. I just didn’t like her acting that way with me.

Ciara’s POVI just couldn’t stay while Bella went back to Novacrest where Leo is. I just couldn’t let those two be together. Leo is mine, and I will do everything to have him. I had been asking about him and his whereabouts from his mom because I do check on him in his stinky apartment where he stays, to see if he would capture Bella’s heart. Too bad he didn’t. It’s so saddening that Bella didn’t trust him. Leo should know perfectly well that Bella doesn’t love him the way I do. I was the only one who would love him without doubting him in any way.I packed my clothes inside a small bag. I was going to Novacrest, to Leo’s mansion—that kind which was only designed for me and not that local Bella. I smirked as I stared at my reflection. I remembered asking his mother everything in an attempt to pretend I was still working for her, to know what her son was up to. I told her that Bella was in Novacrest and that they would get back together if they met each other. She whispered,“After all
